Can't wait to see all the talk-radiot/Tea-Tards turn on Condi like Benedict Arnold now that shes criticizing their closet hero, GWB the second coming of Jesus...LOL
No, no one on the right is going to turn against Ms. Rice because she didn't say anything against George Bush. The libs are the ones who are trying desperately and illogically to twist her words to mean something that she never said at all.
Oh please, what a total distortion of what Ms. Rice said. Here is the actual excerpt that the OP unwittingly linked (but apparently did not read himself):
Then I called the President. “Mr. President, I’m coming back. I don’t know how much I can do, but we clearly have a race problem,” I said.
“Yeah. Why don’t you come on back?” he answered.
I actually hadn’t expected that from the President. That’s odd, I thought. He’d been so insistent that I go and get some rest. He’s really worried. “
CLEARLY, she never said that Bush personally had a race problem, rather, the fact that the victims of Katrina were black meant that POLITICALLY there was going to be a highly racially charged situation for him to handle.
Good grief odanny, is this the best you can do?
So you are saying that Condi was worried about the APPEARANCE of indifference, as opposed to worrying about the citizens trapped underwater? And she was worried that it would APPEAR exactly like it did, that the neocons could care less that a city of largely black people was drowning?
Yea, I agree with you, Condi was playing politics and was worried about what it would look like. And it sure didn't look good.

You have no evidence for what either Bush or Rice personally felt about the situation. But here, I'll give you an actual fact to chew on: I personally couldn't give a rat's tail about the people of New Orleans who were all too stupid to heed warnings in advance and who then looted, raped, robbed, and shot up helicopters bringing aid. I don't think you care about them either.

No evidence? How about being totally clueless about the upcoming storm, having NOTHING planned in the event the worst happened? Being caught totally unaware when there were DAYS to prepare?
Hell, I knew it was coming 5 days before it hit and watched the Weather Channel multiple times a day. I guess you never heard the old expression "actions speak louder than words"
I saw all the evidence I needed. Wanton disregard and dereliction of duty.
A massive Federal government is not capable of an appropriate response on a local level. Woo hooh. There's a headline.
You also had cases of police getting shot at.. so the response was slowed for safty reasons.
